I met Michelle N., Michelle M., Angela and Dean at Albertsons for our Wasatch Blvd run.   I love this run.  It's a great St. George simulator.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to jump from 13 to 18 miles but decided it would be fine if I ran slow enough.  I felt pretty good.  The weather was great.  We ran into Eric at the church where we fill up our water.  We were surprised to see him there.  Angela bought us a delicious chocolate milk after.  Average pace 8:54.

Todays run was so fun.  I met the BBK's at Bingham.  I got there early and was able to run an extra mile with Peggy, Mike and Michelle M.  We had a large group of people today which always makes it fun.  We warmed up for 3 more miles.  Next we ran 4 x Yasso 800's with a 400 recovery lap after each one.  My times were:

3:25, 3:27, 3:26 and 3:26.  Right were I wanted them to be.  (My recovery laps were a little too fast.  I'll slow them down next time.) 

Then we did a 2 mile tempo run.  7:34 and 7:06.  The first mile was slower because we had to stop at the light. 

Then a 1.5 mile run at a 7:30 avg pace.

Then a 1/2 mile cool down back to the car.

Average pace for the last 7 miles was 7:39.

I met the BBK's at Bingham.  I got there 15 minutes early and was able to get in 1.5 miles with Kris.  We came back and did another 3.5 warm up miles with the group.   Avg. pace 9:20.  Then we did a tempo run.  I felt really good.  I didn't listen to the directions Cheryl gave us very well.  I ended up running a little extra and did a 7 mile tempo run.  Those splits were 7:42, 7:39, 7:28, 8:08, 7:25, 7:23, and 7:39.  Average pace 7:38.  That was the same pace as the Riverton 10k and this felt so much easier.

We had a great long run in the rain.  There were 9 of us that met at Cheris' house at 5:30.  This was the first time the guys out numbered the girls.  It was very windy running South and West.  Once we turned it was great.  Average pace 8:39.

Met the BBK's at the Riverfront parking lot.  I got there early and ran 1.5 miles.  Then I ran another 3.5 easy miles with the early group.  For the main workout, we started at the bottom of the hill by the cemetary.  We ran up the hill, around the cemetary and then recovered on the downhill 5 times.  Then we did it 5 times in reverse.  We ran easy back to the cars and then finished with a 1.5 mile tempo run.  Average pace for the last 7 miles was 7:58.

I got up at 3:45 this morning to meet my crazy running friends at Cheris' house to carpool to the race.  The race started late.  I knew it was going to be a hot one and I don't do well in the heat.  I tried to hold back a little at the start.  I'm not sure if that helped or hurt me.  My sister Angela and I passed each other back and forth up until mile 10 when she took off.  I almost caught up to her at the end.  We finished about 5 seconds apart.  I was hoping to get in the 1:34's but I just couldn't do it.  I felt pretty strong the whole race although I did have some stomach issues.  My splits according to the white mile markers were  7:15, 7:14, 13:45 (for 3 & 4), 7:23, 7:12, 7:15, 7:14, 7:28, 7:11, 8:09, 7:27, 8:15, and 7:15.    

Overall it was a great race.  I was hoping for a PR but I couldn't pull it off in the heat.  I will be doing some running in the heat before St. George for sure.  It was fun to see and talk to so many friends.  Thanks Kelli for coming out and cheering us on.  You're awesome.

Michelle M and Cheris were too sore from the race and wanted to take the day off. I didn't want to run outside alone so I ran on the treadmill. My legs felt a little tired but not too bad. Average pace 9:13.

I met the BBK's at a church on 10100 S. and 40th W. I warmed up for 15 minutes by myself. Then ran easy for another 30 minutes with the group. We then ran fast up and down the other side of the hill in front of the temple. We did that twice and then ran West on 10400 S. and finished back to the cars. It was a crazy morning. We almost got hit by bikers and then John twisted his ankle on a big rock and couldn't run. At about 9 miles I tripped over a board and landed hard on my side. I scrapped up my palm pretty bad. The worst part is how painful my right arm is. My wrist and my upper arm are very sore. I am such a klutz. I forgot to mention on Tuesday that I rolled both ankles one after the other. So my ankles are very stiff now too. My husband keeps telling me I'm falling apart. I think he's right. Average pace for the 10 miles was 8:35.

I decided to run between getting my kids off to school this morning.  I ran 3 miles and then came home and got my 16 year old off.  Then I ran 3 more miles and came home and got my 10 year old off.  Then I ran 4 miles before we had to drive my 14 year old to school.  It was nice breaking it up, but my knees hurt when I started back up the last time.  Average pace 9:13.  I ran into Cheris on my first run.  It was fun to run part of it with her.

I met up with several of the BBK's at Cheris' house at 5:00 this morning.  I misunderstood where Michelle N. wanted to meet this morning and she showed up at our Wasatch meeting place.  I felt really bad.  Luckily she found us about 3 miles into our run.  I felt really good today.  I wanted to push the pace the a little.  I ate a 1/2 a banana and piece of wheat toast with peanut butter before we started.  Then I had a gu at mile 5 and Gatorade at miles 10 and 15.   I also drank water.  The last mile was tough.  I think I would have done better with another gu.  I brought Clif Shots and they were nasty.  I usually use the Gu brand.  I couldn't stomach them after the first one.  My splits were 9:21, 9:07, 8:51, 8:45, 8:46, 9:15, 8:40, 8:11, 8:28, 8:11, 8:33, 8:04, 8:16, 7:58, 8:25, 8:42, 8:10, 8:02, 8:13 and 8:50.  Average pace 8:33.
